Boomer himself said when Mundy's travel made his games total more like 450.

Where was Dave’s gold number?

Tasmania is really a horrible place for football. Can't recall ever seeing a good quality game there. It's always some combination of freezing/wet/windy and every game is a shocking spectacle. Not sure what the status of the stadium/roof is for the new side?

The missus asked if it was raining because of the mist. Turns out it was 5°c and 95% humidity, which pretty much had them playing in a cloud.

Yeah I shake my head when simpletons whine “why does it need a roof, it’s a winter sport !” …. Like seriously the difference in crowd numbers /members /supporters and general football/tourists the team would have /attend/fly to Hobart to watch them at a plush boutique roofed stadium on the waterfront as opposed to drive out to Bellerive and sit in artic conditions for over half their home games would absolutely be stark.

I have not an ounce of doubt on that .

For a club that will likely always struggle to be financially viable AND limited growth ,it’s vitally important the AFL make Tassie as appealing as possible

They dont get much right at all or even close but I agree on them making the stand on the teams entry beholden to building the enclosed stadia

only one I can remember is when Fyfe went on a rampage trying to get the game across the line for us all by himself. he just went absolutely nuts, I think we lost but it was a mind-blowing game from him.

This stuff is getting incredibly cringy here man.

How do these guys not realise that?

Don’t really care for the Eagles at all but if there’s one game that I want them to win this year, it’s this one.

Was that the one we're he kicked 3 goals and had about 30 odd disposals with what felt like 25 broken tackles?

yep! pretty sure he got 3 brownlow votes too. there was a big cry about it cos it ended up being a 30 point or smth loss to us but for anyone who watched that game (very few outside of Freo fans) they knew it was deserved

I mean, Fyfe did get 3 brownlow votes in a game we got smashed by 77 points in. Difference was nobody, not even the Richmond fans, argued the toss on that one.

Have serious doubts Richmond will be able to field a team of AFL players this week. Copped more injuries last night and in the VfL another guy looks to have done his knee. They’re bloody cursed atm

I recon there are more injuries to the youngest and oldest players so if you trade out all your prime players who have trade value, it leaves you more suspect to a big injury run. Once the rot sets in, your start playing players underdone or who are not really ready for AFL time and before you know it, the problem has snowballed.

Same thing happened to WC expect they didn't trade anyone, just forgot how to recruit or develop anyone for 5-6 years in a row.

We want the Swans to win today right, try to keep that gap for top two.

Then beat the swans when we play them.

absolutely agree - us and the Swans together just keep increasing the gap to the rest is the best possible outcome. They should want us to beat Brissie next week too. Game between them and us becomes a shootout for top if this keeps happening.

Also my hatred for Geelong is stronger than my hatred for West coast, so there is that.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I find North such a fascinating watch every time I see them. Clearly talented list and they often do 80% of the game correct then just completely **** it up or fall asleep for 10 seconds.

 

[Demons09]

Remember we wanted decent compensation for Logue we made out like bandits.

 

[largebus]

Not a doctor but it seems Sims' ACL gave out on him which caused him to fall, not the other way round.

I had a mate who did his playing indoor soccer, got up and then it just collapsed suddenly, no slipping over, he just fell to the ground.

 

[mike91]

This is honestly like watching auskick, wowee have North been putrid the last two weeks

yeah I wish I never saw that footage, like bambi being shot

Given what Yze is getting out of a Richmond squad with half the talent and 4 times the injuries, I have to believe Clarko is cooked and they would be twice the side with a good (for current footy) coach. So much of what they do wrong is structural or coaching

 

[fnerd]

A real time genuine example of a team/club where losing is just so ingrained it’s terminal.

They just have to keep switching things up ala giving that flog clarko the boot he so richly deserves at the end of the yr

No mate...We want them to loose.

Where was Dave’s gold number?

The kid wearing it now is gold. Does that count?
